Whose youth romance story begins with a witch's trial?!

It seems that this situation is indeed more serious than before. In fact, it is almost a fatal blow in theory. If it weren't for his special constitution, he would probably be arguing with the goddess in charge of reincarnation right now. Next time, will he go to Terra to clean toilets, raise pets, confront the moon, or create sugar cubes and touch computer cases?

"Chang Rong...!"

The previously noisy aspiring witches, upon seeing Chang Rong's somewhat disheveled and weak appearance, immediately stopped their clamor.

No matter what, when they see the usually lively white-haired boy, who can be poked a couple of times and still make a 'eeeeee' sound when he's hit, looking so weak, the prospective witches still feel a pang of pity.

Or rather, it was precisely because they were not used to Chang Rong's frail appearance that the girls tried to create an atmosphere of noise and normalcy.

"It's all, it's all my fault, Lord Changrong... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...!"

Just moments ago, Ice Meruru was declaring war on the twelve warlords, but in an instant, she became docile and meek. She lowered her head and transformed into a jellyfish, dropping tiny pearls and constantly blaming herself. If she hadn't tried to kill herself, Chang Rong wouldn't be in such a weak state now.

"Hmm, Meruru-chan, don't blame yourself too much... Although your methods were indeed a bit extreme, Changrong-kun had his reasons..." The pink and white puppy whispered to comfort Meruru.

"But, but the suffering that Lord Changrong is currently experiencing is indeed caused by me... Waaah..." Meruru said, covering her cheeks.

"Nono... Although I really want to spray you with spray paint, you've just done the opposite of what Noah has always wanted to do to Rongrong, so Noah can't completely deny it..."

The little balloon, Noah Shirosaki, poked half its head out and whispered, "The only difference between Meruru and Noah is that Noah wants to knock Chang Rong down and boil her in water, while Meruru knocks down everyone except Chang Rong and puts them in strong alkali. It's like the older brother laughing at the younger brother."

"But... can I really pretend nothing happened...? I guess I have to atone for my sins, so I'll take care of Chang Rong—"

"That won't do!" "You wish! You're dreaming!"

Before Meruru could finish her tearful words, everyone immediately retorted, "You little rascal, so you've been laying the groundwork all this time. We can't expect you to get all the good stuff, eating and taking."

Following Meruru's failed attempt to sneak away, the group naturally began a second round of tug-of-war over the question of "who will take care of her" after the "patient meal".

Incidentally, Chang Rong immediately suggested that "I should just take Jingjing with me by myself," but unsurprisingly, the idea was rejected on the spot.

After all, severe anemia and a nearly broken right wrist are indeed very serious injuries. If he were alone, he wouldn't have time to react in case of an emergency.

Because everyone's attitude was so serious, Chang Rong had no choice but to agree to the policy of '24-hour care'.

I did want to find the warden, but the warden was exhausted from fighting the 'Noah's Special Rainbow Hallucinogenic Sweet Water'. This time, he handed over the Undying Totem too early.

"Um... well, I think I should just back out first... woof..."

As everyone looked at each other, pondering their own unique advantages as 'caregivers' in being chosen, Emma Sakura made a whining expression and raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to withdraw from the debate.

“Emma…” Shiro looked at Emma Sakura, who was hanging her head and looking utterly dejected, and couldn’t help but sigh softly. It seemed that Emma had matured a lot.

She knew that her [Witch Slayer Magic] constitution was like poison to Chang Rong in her current state, so she chose to stay away despite the pain. Emma... I misunderstood you.

"Don't be so down, Emma. We still have a promise to keep after I get better, right?" Chang Rong noticed the pink and white puppy's disappointed look and immediately smiled and comforted Emma.

"Hehehe... Chang Rong-kun...!" Having received Chang Rong's promise, Sakura Emma instantly regained her radiance, and her tail and ears stood up again.

"Huh? What agreement? What did you agree to? Sakura... Emma—!"

Completely bewildered, Nikaido Hiro, now a helpless outsider and husband, could only resort to a formulaic path-dependent output of the breathing code.

"Hmph! When it comes to caregivers, isn't the only answer this clever, adorable, and delicate Sherlock Holmes? As long as I'm here, I can bring all evil to justice!"

Shirley waved her hand, made a "stronger left fist" gesture, and said with a cheerful laugh.

"No, no, no, there are no enemies now! Rather, you, this chaotic gorilla woman, are the evil itself!" Tono Hannah immediately exposed her best friend's true colors. Tachibana Sherry's superhuman strength was completely useless in the current Love Island mode, or rather, its only use was to agree to Chang Rong's requests when he refused to do so.

"And taking care of people... I have experience too. Just hold them gently in your arms like this, then slowly and carefully rock them from side to side while singing a lullaby so they can sleep soundly—"

"No, no, no, the age doesn't match, Miss Hannah...!" Chang Rong quickly interrupted Tono Hannah, explaining that she was only anemic and about to be reborn as a baby before she was completely reborn.

And for some reason, I always felt that the scene Hannah described had a certain attraction to it. How could that be...?

Did I embarrass myself because of Milia?

"Hiss hiss hiss—hiss hiss hiss hiss!!" "Big sister, please don't join in the fun...!"

Even the headband guards seemed eager to try, but these candidates, who even had reproductive barriers, didn't need anyone else to vote against them; they were pulled back by Kurobe Nanoha, who blushed.

"Hehehe, Noah will take good care of Rongrong! With Noah's invincible painting power—" "I will put that stupid monster into a peaceful slumber..."

The children's group also actively participated without hesitation, but unsurprisingly, their proposal was rejected by everyone.

These two, one boiling water and the other hypnotizing, are probably going to turn into a Pro Max version of Night Ward X. What if Chang Rong spends a week recuperating in the infirmary, only to end up with kidney problems instead of anemia, and then gets arrested by Brother Jing on the spot when he goes out?

"Um... I'm not quite able to take good care of Chang Rong right now. If I had spent more time learning related things before... Sorry, I'll withdraw too."

Arisa tugged at her hood. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she felt that she was not yet qualified to take care of Chang Rong in his sick state. She should at least have gone through the 'Yamato Nadeshiko Training Chapter' before she was qualified to kneel in front of him and serve him.

"If everyone had Arisa's self-awareness, that would be great. Actually, there's nothing to argue about in this kind of thing, is there? The only one who has been taking care of Chang Rong all this time is me, as the part-time health committee member—"

"PASS!" "Objection!" "Hmph, I disagree!"

"Why were they rejected so quickly and so decisively?! What's the reason... what's the reason?!" Hiro's eyes widened. No matter how she looked at it, she was the best candidate. How could this be?!

"If only Hiro-chan could be as self-aware as Arisa-chan... As for reasons, it's more accurate to say that every action Hiro-chan takes while standing here is a reason, isn't it?" Sakura Emma muttered with a wry smile.

“Every moment…?” Shiro looked confused. He hadn’t done anything besides trying to kill the rabbit, had he?

While Hiro was caught in self-doubt, the smile on Hasumi Rhea's lips gradually rose, from an initial desperate tension to an uncontrollable upward curve.

—Hehe…I can’t laugh, I can’t laugh now…But—hehehe, how could I, the ultimate idol, possibly hold back my laughter in this situation!?

Taking care of patients and such—isn't that what I do every day during breaks from idol activities? This is practically a special treat for me and my fans, Onlyfans!

Ryota Hasumi gently tousled her bangs with her fingers, striking a dazzling "kirakiradokidoki" pose, but unfortunately, she couldn't add a rose to her lips to enhance the effect.

"Oh dear, everyone, there's really no way around it. The discussion seems to have stalled. In that case, I'll take over—"

"Let me take care of Onii-chan! I have plenty of experience taking care of my favorite! Hmm... although, although most of the time I'm the one being taken care of by my favorite, but, but I'm still very confident!"

Ryota Hasumi's bold speech was suddenly interrupted by Coco Sawatari, or perhaps Ryota was so busy posing that she didn't notice that Coco was also struggling and hesitating, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

“Cocoa… perhaps she really could.” “Cocoa-chan… although she seemed unapproachable at first, she’s actually very kind.” “If it were Sawatari, perhaps…”

After seeing Sawatari Coco bravely and somewhat shyly volunteer, the group hesitated for a moment, but surprisingly, they were able to agree with her.

Of course, taking care of "my favorite" isn't the real reason; the main reason is that Zetsu Coco seems much more innocent compared to Hiro. As a veteran of the second playthrough, Hakimi's relationship with Chang Rong, despite initially being full of wild jokes during her livestream, turned out to be surprisingly pure and loving, even to the point of making one wonder, "Are they really siblings?"

"Then let Coco take care of Chang Rong for the time being—"

"I disagree! What?! There are clearly more professional and experienced nurses here!!"

"Ughhhhhhh!?"

Suddenly, Hasumi Ryoya, who was standing to the side, got angry. She originally wanted to remain silent and act like a master, then make a decisive move to "kill the game" and lift the trophy, but... if she kept pretending like this, the trophy would be snatched away by the cat!

You're still thinking about that pose of yours? Where's my rabbit?!

"Is that so...? But actually, Coco already meets the requirements, so let's let her come—"

"This, this isn't right! I can talk, I can take care of Chang Rong!!" Lian Jian Lei Ya patted her chest, her tone somewhat anxious.

It feels like the teacher explains a problem and asks who knows the answer, and everyone else in the class is clueless except you. You want to show off by raising your hand at the last minute, but the teacher just starts explaining the solution.

"Whoa... Lei, Leia-chan...?" Emma was startled by the unusually agitated golden retriever.

"Oh, right! I can also cosplay Fury! Chang Rong, you're really into that, aren't you? I... I've already asked Hannah to help me, and I can become your own Fury right away—"

"I didn't say I liked it...!" Chang Rong covered her face and retorted weakly. Although she had indeed almost been taken away by two scavengers, she had never been into that kind of thing!

It's clear that Rhea isn't very clear about the distinction between 'kemonomimi' and 'Furry', yet there are still people who seem to know a lot about it.

“Waaaaah…” “Eeeeeeeee…!?” An An and Coco were startled, their faces turning ashen. Several other prospective witches also looked at Leia with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"A night of marriage brings a hundred nights of kindness. My fan, my Changrong, my Romeo, you should also remember all the days we spent together!"

"...It's beyond saving."

Hasumi Ryo reached out to grab Chang Rong, but was immediately grabbed by the arms by Hiro and her older sister and lifted away. Her magic [Gaze Control] forced Chang Rong to remove her hands from her face and watch helplessly as the golden-haired idol was dragged away like a husky caught red-handed destroying the house.

Clang!

"You'd better stay here and reflect on your actions... until you've corrected that overly chaotic XP, or until you can get a perfect score of 100 in this game, which means you've calmed down. Then we'll let you out naturally."

Hiro threw the golden retriever into the punishment room to calm the obsessed idol down, and handed her a cell phone with an electronic lock.

"Waaah, please don't do this, Hiro, I've calmed down now..."

Leia, who had maximized her losses with the most bullet comments, slumped her head and reluctantly looked at her phone. On it was a mini-game where a little bird, poked and hopping, never stopped and never landed, flew through the gaps in a green water pipe.

"Is that all? You really underestimated me. Watch me sweep it all in one go... Hmm, I was careless this time, my hand slipped this time, my eyes are a bit dry this time, I didn't consider the wind speed well this time, the grass is too slippery this time, this time—how am I supposed to get 100 points?!"

After being killed by the first water pipe dozens of times while controlling the bird, Hasumi Ryoya's previously calmed emotions were stirred up again, making her even angrier.

However, not long after—

Clang!

The door to the punishment cell opened again. Before Leia could even feel happy about her early parole, she saw a pure white jellyfish being thrown in, becoming her close cellmate.

"Meruru...?" "Waaaaah..."

Leia looked at Meruru on the ice, who had been thrown in, with a bewildered expression, and asked her why she had been thrown in as well.

"I...I suggested that in this situation we might have to use some extreme measures, like a kissing therapy...but then everyone threw me in here..." Meruru replied to explain why she was in while dropping small pearls.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The guard brought Meruru here, stood outside the punishment room, and let out a cold snort. His masked gaze swept over the two criminals—even though Chang Rong was already so ill, their minds were still filled with nothing but lewd thoughts and malicious intentions; they were utterly worthless scum who had lost all sense of social responsibility!

After a while, when Rhea was finally able to control the bird to jump over the first pipe—

Clang!

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The guard with the headband snorted coldly again, looking at everyone with eyes that seemed to regard them as trash, and casually tossed another blue-haired character into the punishment room.

"Sherry? What happened to you..."

"Hehe~ I was thrown in here because I wanted to try out the kissing therapy!"

Tachibana Sherry cheerfully held up a magnifying glass and spoke to everyone.

"...Is that so?" Leia looked at Tachibana Sherry, then at Meruru, and finally decided to continue playing on her phone.

One dares to speak, the other dares to act; I think this jellyfish and Sherlock Holmes are a pair of unfortunate owls.

However, after a while—

"Hiss..."

The headband-wearing guard has come to the punishment room yet again, and this time she's accompanied by her own sister, Kurobe Nanoka.

It's clear that the headband guard truly despises those who harbor ill intentions even when Chang Rong is weakened, and even her sister couldn't escape punishment. This demonstrates that the headband guard wasn't acting out of personal vendetta, but genuinely—
